A78 is an AMD Chipset known as Fusion Controller Hub (FCH). AMD has named its southbridge Fusion Controller Hub (FCH) since the introduction of its Fusion APUs.
It sounds like you have a LENOVO Lenovo H535 10117 Tower
You may be able to find the PC serial number to look up that.

enter in bios with the file copied into a usb flash drive
you must have a ups so if electricity decides to leave your house, your pc will finish the bios upgrade perfectly
enter in bios select upgrade bios, point it to the file and leave it do the process
once it finishes, turn off pc, unplug pc, remove heatsink, put the new cpu, don't bend pins on it, lock it in place, put the new heatsink with the thermal paste it comes, connect the fan and reconnect the psu to turn it on, that should be all
btw, from where did you got the bios file you want to use?

I got it from the Lenovo website, it was a .efi file. I went to a FAT32 bios and it says to type the file, but when I do, it isn't there? Is there a BIOS file that you reccomend or have the link to? Pictures can be added if needed.
